Annoying windows logon problem

Zascar · 2009-04-20 18:05:31

I leave my computer on all the time. The monitor switches off aftera few mins which is fine, however recently for some reason, when I love the mouse to get it back on, I am at the welcome screen - I have to click my username and then it goes back to normal. How do I stop this? Thanks
